Bloodied and dazed Afghans wandered the street after Saturday's blast, which rattled the capital and sent a black plume of smoke skyward. Children – many of whom congregate outside the NATO gate to sell gum to Westerners – were among the wounded. Windows of nearby antique shops were shattered and blood smeared the ground.

The Taliban claimed responsibility and said the target was the NATO headquarters and the U.S. Embassy some 150 yards (meters) down the street.

"I am taking this opportunity today to plead with the Canadian government that they stop the legal wrangling and ask the United States to bring Mr. Khadr home," said Liberal foreign affairs critic Bob Rae.

And where's Iggy on this one... shouldn't he be trumpeting this horrible injustice from the Liberal ramparts too?

Let the americans try Khadar, and find him innocent or guilty. And, unless he signs an agreement not to sue the cdn govt, keep him there. Notice the Kenyan mom is going to sue when she gets home. Let's hope the govt countersues for all the costs of her stupidity.Lawyers plan to get rich off of her. Any possibility this whole thing was a scam, to embarass the govt, and thereby allow future phony passport holders to get into our country. How many passports have the Khadar family "lost". Will that mother promise not to travel back home again. Maybe new citizens from corrupt countries should not be allowed a cdn passport for 10 yrs after arriving here. Great campaign slogan, save cdn taxpayers millions in lawsuits, vote conservative. I still think Arar scammed us good and that started all this BS.
